[Verse]
Cm
  Coming out to the light of day
      Ab
we got  many moons than a deeper place
     Cm
So I   keep an eye on the shadow's smile
    Ab                      Fm
To see what it has to say
                     Ab
You and I both know
                    Cm
Everything must go away
                 Cm
Ah, what do you say?
Cm
  Spinning off, head is on my heart
          Ab
It's like   a bit of light and a touch of dark
        Cm
You got   sneak attacked from the zodiac
       Ab                  Fm
But I see your eyes spark
                       Ab
Keep the breeze and go
                      Cm
Blow by blow and go away
                Cm
Oh what do you say?
 
 
[Chorus]
     Ab                      Fm
Yeah, you don't know my mind
                        Cm
You don't know my kind
                      Bb                Ab
Dark necessities are part of my design
                    Fm
Tell the world that
                         Cm
I'm falling from the sky
                      Bb               Cm
Dark necessities are part of my design

[Verse]
Cm
  Stumble down to the parking lot
        Ab
You got  no time for the afterthought
             Cm
They're like   ice cream for an astronaut
             Ab                  Fm
Well that's me looking for weed
                     Ab
Turn the corner and…
                         Cm
Find the world and show command
            Cm
Playing the hand
 
 
[Chorus]
     Ab                      Fm
Yeah, you don't know my mind
                        Cm
You don't know my kind
                      Bb                Ab
Dark necessities are part of my design
                    Fm
Tell the world that
                         Cm
I'm falling from the sky
                      Bb               Cm
Dark necessities are part of my design

Do you want this love of mine?

The darkness helps to sort the shine

[Verse]
Cm
  Pick you up like a paperback
         Ab
With the   track record of a maniac
       Cm
So I'm   moving in and we unpack
          Ab                Fm
It's the same as yesterday
                    Ab
Honey where we roll
                   Cm
Everything must go away
                Cm
Ah, what do you say?
 
 
[Chorus]
     Ab                      Fm
Yeah, you don't know my mind

You don't know my kind
                      Bb                Ab
Dark necessities are part of my design
                    Fm
Tell the world that
                         Cm
I'm falling from the sky
                      Bb               Cm
Dark necessities are part of my design
